Leiberman was an aberration.  Look for more Venturas and Green Party candidates to do well.

No. The dem activists are pretty fired up. It's the republicans and independents who won't show up.

I'm in GA. I've never seen so much apathy with Republicans in a long time.

So, not only will the Republicans lose, Democrats lose as well.

And how does that work, exactly? Sheep get elected to national office?

National politics is a zero sum game. It's not going to fill up with Liebermans. Fight the good fight, stop arguing for not arguing, or get out of the way.

Sorry. Even if a miracle were to occur, and Republicans support a measure the Democrats support, Bush will veto.

I'm not agreeing to half an ass-kicking from people who are consistently wrong on every issue.

I'd rather have stalemate than some freakishly hybrid Island of Dr. Moreau legislation that attempts to balance, say, universal health care with massive profits for Billy Tauzin.

Over the last decade, Republicans have been wrong. on. every. issue.

Many dems have been wrong as well, but that doesn't make sticking the two together some magic wand. We'll have reams of crappy national policy, like increased food stamp funding, but only if they can do 100 push ups. Great.

These two new books about Hillary have him so disgusted that he admitted last night at dinner that his admiration for her "spunk" is growing.

If we could have a little more distance between "Clinton" and "spunk" I'd appreciate it.

This is roughly analogous to the Edwards campaign's failure to do due dilligence regarding the hired bloggers. A mis-step, but not a particularly meaningful one.

Ehh. In Edward's case, he pissed off Bill Donohue, and got some bad press in conservative circles.

Obama's pissing off his own people.

Tens of thousands of people's goodwill - if not more - swept away.

This is going to cost them more than $50K.

when these bastards migrate to teh Intarweb when our presence is large enough to make a consistent difference in elections and corporate governance?

Can they drown us out with thousands of BS sites and posts and videos etc.? How will people know who to trust?

In '92 and '96, one was not presented with the problem of triangulating a straight line.
